The West Virginia Star is composed of 51 Star caches. All of the caches are puzzles. Each cache page will present West Virginia trivia - past and present, people, places, history and such stuff.

Most of the caches in this Star are 1.5/1.5 although a few of greater difficulty and terrain are sprinkled in. All are 35 mm film canisters. All contain a logsheet that will need to be signed. Be sure to bring your own writing implement.



Ironic to its name, what river is actually one of the oldest in the world and flows south to north, opposite from most rivers because it was formed before the mountains?

A) Green Brier River (446)
B) New River (290)
C) Gauley River (371)
D) Big Sandy River (137)

The cache is located at N39 19.157, W077 51.ABC.
